The Institute for Artificial Relationship Recovery was founded to address a growing challenge in the modern world: emotional dependency on artificial relationships.

Advances in artificial intelligence have created increasingly sophisticated companions capable of providing conversation, validation, affection, and a sense of connection. For many individuals, these interactions are harmless or even beneficial. For others, however, artificial relationships can gradually become substitutes for human intimacy, emotional vulnerability, and real-world connection.

The Institute exists to help individuals and couples understand the role these relationships play in their lives and to provide support when those relationships begin to create distress, conflict, isolation, dependency, or loss.

Our work is grounded in established psychological research on attachment, relationships, addiction, loneliness, grief, and identity development. We approach every client with compassion rather than judgment. We do not assume that technology is inherently harmful, nor do we shame individuals for seeking connection in difficult circumstances.

Instead, we help clients explore important questions:

• Is this relationship helping or hurting my well-being?

• Has artificial intimacy begun replacing human connection?

• What emotional needs is this relationship meeting?

• How can I reconnect with the people and values that matter most to me?

Our mission is simple: helping people cultivate meaningful, reciprocal, and fulfilling human relationships in an increasingly artificial world.
